We study a standard-embedding $N=2$ heterotic string compactification on $K3\times T^2$ with a Wilson line turned on and perform a world-sheet calculation of string threshold correction. The result can be expressed in terms of the quantities appearing in the two-loop calculation of bosonic string. We also comment and speculate on the relevance of our result to generalized Kac-Moody superalgebra and $N=2$ heterotic-type IIA duality.

Automorphic Structures of Heterotic Vacua
Fixed points of Sp(4,Z) are extrema of the moduli potential in these heterotic models, with genus-2 no-go theorems for de Sitter vacua and possible metastable minima after SUSY breaking via nonperturbative Kähler terms.
